    mysql server caching

    I think I narrowed it down a bit more. The max connections on mysql is set to 1500 but the apache maxclients was only 1000. thats why it would only hover around 1000 threads and slow down a lot. However when I raise apache maxclients I get 'cant create new thread' errors? Then I have to killall...

    mysql server caching

    I dont think apache can do it the proper way with COMET you are limited to polling. I will upgrade to lighttpd at some point but I still need to have apache working until then.

    mysql server caching

    Polling is pretty much the only way to do it with apache, and it works great during off peak hours. It's just during the highest peak time, when there is something new that all the clients need the CPU spikes happen. But when everyone is just polling the load is very low and everything is snappy...

    mysql server caching

    I think the problem might be to do with threads being created. When there is something new the "running" threads jumps from like 3 to 500. The thread_cache_size was set at 16, I put it up to 50 to see what happens. I guess it probably needs to be higher? It's using persistent connections...

    mysql server caching

    It updates about every 5-30 secs I guess and there is a sort of polling system where the clients check every few secs if there are changes, and if there is a change it does more queries and sends the new info back. The problem is when it sends the updates it seems to bottle neck. It also goes up...

    mysql server caching

    I have an apache server and a seperate mysql server. Quite often it happens that 1000 people request the same thing at once and the server slows down when it sends the data to the apache server (over internal gigabit network). Query_cache is turned off. From what I read it should probably be...

    How to send huge amounts of emails?

    How do large forums and similar sites handle sending all those emails when there is a thread reply and so forth? I need to send several thousand a day but I don't want it getting flagged as spam obviously so I can't just use the server's own sendmail. I need SPF and everything setup. Any...

    Popcorn-hour A-300 Speakers

    The specs say it can decode DTS, but does that mean it can decode only to play on the TV speakers (2.1?), or that it can output it to the 5.1 speakers. It also says pass-through for DTS and DTS-HD, I guess that means send it on to a audio receiver box?

    Popcorn-hour A-300 Speakers

    I'm thinking about getting a popcorn hour A-300 and some Energy Classic 5.1 speakers. I seriously know zilch about audio/speakers, I've always just used the TV speakers. Would I need a separate audio receiver can I hook the speakers straight up to the A-300? I will mostly be playing MKV files...

    Megaupload Shut Down, Employees Indicted

    I don't see how they can be shutdown as long as they have been conforming to DMCA complaints?? BTW they did the same thing to isonews.com 10 years ago and it didn't even have any links or anything, it was just a dupechecker.

    Q6600 + 8800GT, video upgrade worth it?

    Yeah I want to run at 1920 x 1200 on max settings. It's not smooth at all with the 8800gt.

    Q6600 + 8800GT, video upgrade worth it?

    I currently have a Q6600 and 8800GT. What would be a good video to card upgrade to so I can play MW3 a little better? I'm not sure at what point the CPU becomes the weakest link and I'm wasting money on video card. The Q6600 is still good enough for general use so I don't really want to upgrade...

    linux encryption

    Is there a simpler way to make an encrypted container in CentOS. Something like "yum install whatever" and it's good to go? Up until now I've been using loop-aes but it requires a kernel rebuild and patching a bunch of system files and compiling drivers and all kinds of crap. I'd rather use...
